Louise lives and works in Buxton where she has a studio and exhibition space in her workshop. Louise is a skilled and versatile artist who relishes the discovery of a new technique or idea.Her work expresses an explorative attitude, artistic curiosity and diversity. She exhibits mixed media, oils, watercolours, etchings and collagraphs, demonstrating her desire to experiment and build on her artistic experiences.Louise is currently working on a series of paintings depicting trees and woodlands inspired by the landscape around her studio in Buxton in Derbyshire. She is concentrating on the patterns and textures playing with light, both within and across it. Louise achieves an almost hypnotic invitation to the mysteries and beauty of a forest, drawing the viewer into the depths of the painting with a sensitive use of atmosphere and light. These paintings are stimulating a whole series of developments and Louise eagerly anticipates the new processes and techniques that this work has and will inspire.http://www.louisejannetta.co.uk/
